3.2. Compiling the Programmer Image Project and Generating the .sof File

For you to send command from the System Console to the FPGA soft logic, configure the FPGA using the Programmer Image. The Generic Serial Flash Interface IP core then generates quad SPI command to access the quad SPI flash via active serial (AS) pins or general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pins.

The Programmer Image project consists of only three components:

  • JTAG to Avalon® Master Bridge Intel® FPGA IP core
  • Intel AvMM Bursting Master IP core (Custom IP)
  • Generic Serial Flash Interface Intel® FPGA IP core
